The Ministry for the Economy, Investment and Small Businesses will be organising the Malta's first B2B Conference & Expo with the main aim to create an environment of collaboration and cooperation in which local business leaders can come together to help each other succeed, profit and thrive.

The B2B Conference & Expo is expected to bring together local and international expert speakers who will share insights and interact with the audience, addressing topics such as change, growth and innovation.

During the launch of the conference, Minister Chris Cardona said that the SME sector plays a vital role in the local economy, representing 98 per cent of business in our country. “SMEs success and growth, is the success and growth of the nation. We have placed small business growth as a public priority. This government initiative will serve as an ideal forum for business owners to join entrepreneurs to develop their business strategies and optimize their existing resources.”

Those who attend will be given access to over 100 business-to-business exhibitors spanning across different industries, and the chance to meet and network with over 1,000 delegates present throughout the day.

The B2B Conference & Expo will be held at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta’ Qali on Friday 1st June 2018. Registrations are open at www.b2bexpomalta.com
